Lisakohustus

Lisakohustus is an Estonian term that translates to "additional obligation" or "supplementary duty." It generally refers to a requirement or responsibility that is imposed in addition to a primary or existing obligation. The specific nature and context of a lisakohustus can vary significantly depending on the legal, contractual, or administrative framework in which it appears.

In a legal context, a lisakohustus might arise from a court ruling, a legislative amendment, or a specific clause in a contract. For instance, a contract might include an initial obligation for one party to deliver goods, with a lisakohustus to also provide installation services. In administrative law, a government agency might impose an additional reporting requirement on a business, beyond its standard operating permits.

The concept of lisakohustus emphasizes that it is a secondary or extra burden that needs to be fulfilled. It is distinct from the core or fundamental duty. Failure to meet a lisakohustus can have consequences similar to failing to meet the primary obligation, depending on the agreement or regulation. Understanding the precise definition and implications of a lisakohustus requires examining the specific rules or agreements that establish it. It signifies an expansion of responsibilities beyond the initially defined scope.
